Washington, ID. c., Aug. %, 'S7.
EnIToR BEE:
DEAR SIR.-In the BEE.
bearing date of August 18th, I
noticed an explanatory article de-
nyiDg most villifying and stig-
matizing assertion against a cer-
tain government clerk.
These charges which you have
SO nobly and generously shown to
be false, and without foundation,
were of such a grave character
that I feel called upon tojoin with
you in defense of one who has
been subjected to series of cow
ardly and dastardly attacks upon
his honor and good name in this
community.
L have heard of a ''Tempest in
a teapot" but that is mere myth
compared with the sensation
caused 10y that Strange lady pos
sessed of such vivid imaginative
powers, and so fertile in expedi-
ents as to rival the most brilliant
novelists of the day, with this adj
vantage: for her plot she takes
characters from real life, and
weaves around them not the CLAM
our and beauty of romance, but
the horror and deadly venom of
deliberate falsehood more deadly
and merciless than the faugs of
Cleopatra's asp, which killed only
the flesh ofits victims, while hers
kill all that is dearest to man
his fair name aud honor.
A famed writer has said, "Good
name In man and woman,
Is the immediate jewel of their
souls: who steals my purse steals
trash; 'tis something, nothing;
Twas mine, tits his, and has been
slave to thousands; but he that
filches from me my good name,
robs me of that which not enrich
es him, And makes me poor in
deed"
| have been informed that the
pleasantest relations have always
existed between the accused and
this Madam Strange; and that he
has ever treated her with that
gentlemanly courtesy and consid-
Grafton due an elderly person, the
mother of a grown daughter and
son, whom, heaven grant, may be
more tenderly handled by others
with whom they are thrown.
1 think this lady should excite
our greatest pity; see her, seated
in the deep recesses other kitchen,
surrounded by her help, and an
OutLaD weaving falsehoods to
blacken the character of her
friends, '.just for fun," so that
when they would hear it they
would call at her house. Oh,
shame on you "Mother in Israel, !"
to engage in such ghoul like fun.
Mr.. Editor, I think the revelations
you have made in your paper dur
in The last month will almost
shake Qua confidence in humanity.
In the case before us, we have
two young men who have been
life long friends. Not only bound
together by ties of friendship,
but vows of true knighthood.
Their seeming care for each other
was so marked that it was a SUBJ
ject of comment by all who knew
them. But now what do we see;
one of them In the company of
this Strange woman, surrounded
by domestics as an audience. as
sisting in promulgating against
his friend, as artful, malicious
and double-dyed falsehood, as
would do credit to the kitchen of
Pluto himself.
Oh, false friend, while thou art

LAKE GEORGE JOTTlNGS.
(From our special Correspondent J

From our special Correspondent J
Lake George is an intensely in
teresting spot, whether it be con-
Sidered from scenic or historic
point of view. Here was one of
the battle fields of the French and
Indian war, and the picturesque
ruins OF Forts George, VIM. Hen
rY and TicOnderOga are still visible
to the traveller. Here still remains
the half civilized and half blOoded
descendants of the warlike red
skins, whose war whoOp once
echoed and re-echOed across the
lake and through the mountains.
But aside from the interest Incl.
dent to the beauty and history of
the place, Lake George about now
has special and peculiar in
terest to many of the readers of
the Bee-especially the female pOr-
tion, because here are gathered
their brothers, uncles, cousins and
friends that stick closer than broth
ers-their husbands, of all ages,
sizes, cOlors and conditions Of
health and prosperity.
They amuse themselves with
singing or roaming around, view
ing the grand scenery, and once in
while some of them partake rath
er freely of the juice of the for
hidden fruit. Mr.. Nom IL l..
Nickins is head waiter.
NOTES.
Mr.. James Williams, Esq, bet
ter known as hard money, ls the

ing.
Mr.. John Pollard is the cham
pion food cOncealer of the hotel.
1t is said that he can surround
more food than any two men here.
Mr.. James White is the orator,
and his speeches in the literary
are great.
Mr.. Henson Little is the hard
hitter aud knocks out anything
that stands before him.
Mr.. Malord, besides being one of
the biggest eaters, enjoys the dis
tinctiOn of being the great blow
hard and wind dispenser.
Capt. Walker knows more law
and military tactics than any man
up here. The Capt. is a square
man out and out.
All the men are getting along
nicely, and though the season is
not as good as it might be and
there is but one cOlored young lady
at the Hotel, nevertheless the men
are well satisfied with the prOprie-
Tor, the head and second waiter,
and all will doubtless remain un
til the 1st of September. The
walters of Ft. VIM. Henry Hotel
will give grand minstrel concert
on the 18th inst. The student
walters will have theirs ON the 21st.
The students will give selections
from Shakespeare's Hamlet, Rich
ard III and Othello.

4 Handy Pocket Atlas

An attempt To put in pocket size
the contents of a large reference Atlas
is usually accompanied by rough, inac
curate, and inelegant engraving and
printing, but in the New Pocket At
las of the World. published by Ivison,
Brakeman & Co., 753 1856 Broadway,
New York, this is not the fact. Ninety
one Maps containing nearly every
geographical point o: interest through
out the world, are given, and each is a
gem of the engraver'S art. Delicately
yet distinctly colored, these maps are
exquisite illustrations Of the best color
printing TO day obtainable. While the
the Maps leave nothing to be desired
by way of fulness, they are fully up 10
date, and show every recent discovery,
or change of boundary.
One hundred and twelve pages of
terse, well-arranged, and accurate in
formation concerning every important
country or state on the globe, follow
the maps in this compact volume. In
fact, the book is not only a comprehen-
siye Atlas. tut also condensed Ga
zetteer of the whole world, and all put
in attractive and substantial binding,
and sold for fifty cents. If not found
at your booksellers, on the receipt of
this sum the publishers mail it to any
address.
